Stupak started the Stratsophere.
Grand casinos bought the majority of the stock when Stupak got in money problems during the building.
Grand Casinos filed bankruptcy on it soon after opening.
Icahn had bought up most the bonds. Something like 10¢ on the $. He got it.
Everyone lost their money except the bond holders, mostly Ichan. Creditors, Stock holders, etc.
I was an original investor. A lot of poker people had invested because of Lyle Berman. I sold out at about $14. My name is still on the wall as an original investor.
